When transferring an Anago franchise, is Anago's approval of a transfer considered a waiver of their right to approve future transfers?

According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Anago's approval of a franchise transfer does not constitute a waiver of their right to approve future transfers. This means that even if Anago approves a specific transfer of a franchise unit, they retain the right to evaluate and approve any subsequent transfer requests independently.

This provision protects Anago's ability to maintain standards and ensure that all future franchisees meet their criteria. It prevents a situation where an initial transfer approval could be interpreted as a blanket endorsement of all subsequent transfers, regardless of the qualifications of the potential transferees.

For a prospective Anago franchisee, this means that each transfer they might undertake will be subject to Anago's approval process. This includes meeting Anago's requirements for business and personal skills, financial capacity, and completion of the application process. Franchisees should be aware that Anago's approval of one transfer does not guarantee approval of any future transfer, and they should plan accordingly when considering the long-term transferability of their franchise.
